My HHO Gen design

[gabriel]

Hi all

As i am a noob to HHO Gen construction i thought i might get some advice and feed back from you, the people that actually have a clue on what to do, before i go ahead and build my generator.

It is a horizontal design with 2 in series, the plates, and all the metal used for that matter, is stainless steel and are approx. 3mm apart and the electrolyte i will probably be using is Potassium Hydroxide.

I was wondering if you are able to tell me what the chances of success of this actually working and maybe give me some suggestions on anything i may have missed.

Thank you

Gabriel:cool:

P.S. If you need any more info on the design im happy tell you what i can.:D

LOL sorry it might help if i post some pics of the design.

Nice drawings!

Wow, this is very professionally done... What do you do for a living, Gabriel? You seem like you have a tid bit of experience with this stuff...

yeah well im not currently working at the moment due to a back injury, and as for this program i used to design it, its just google sketchup. It is only the 2nd project that i have conceived on it, however it did take me like 5 straight days to draw it up so i had time to learn a little about the program. The most time consuming part was measuring all the parts to make it perfectly to scale. It was fun to do as well as frustrating at times but it wont be the last thing i design. (currently thinking up a design for a home sauna that uses a HHO Gen to warm it, but will have to see how this one goes first)

Thank you all for your comments and support.

Well, regardless, you did a very good job! It sure does bring your concept to life...

One thing to note, however, is that if you are looking for efficiency, you really should put the cells in series so that each "plate-electrolyte-plate" section has about 2.4V across it. I'm not sure of your electrolyte concentration, but it should also be as potent as you can get, so that the resistivity of it is the lowest(within reason) possible. The idea between these two concepts, is to reduce as much wasted energy(heat) as possible. By doing those two things, you are reducing your conduction losses.

BTW, welcome to the forum! This is a great place to meet a lot of smart people, and learn many new things. I'm a fairly seasoned electrical engineer, but I've learned a thing or two on here! One of the great things about this forum, is that you've got people from many different disciplines genuinely trying to help.

It's a powerful ****tail for invention...



EDIT: Wow, the forum software just bleeped out "coc-ktail"... LOL

Thanks for the info, I will definitely take it into concideration when mixing my electrolyte. I agree that there agree a lot people here with good heads on their shoulders, far better than what i have on mine, lol. It will be handy to be able to pick their minds what i stumble across a problem.

Thanks again
